Hi all, OK, I want to overclock my CPU, but I will need some hints on how far I can push it. Given that I have generic RAM, I won't be able to push it to its limits but I can at least add a bit of bang to it, I hope. So I'll need some tips on how I can go about overclocking my computer.

Here's my setup:
- P4 northwood, stock at 2.53GHz with 133MHz FSB, socket 478
- 1GB generic RAM, PC2700 DDR333
- I have an ASUS P4PE motherboard, in my opinion, not a bad board for overclocking. It can set CPU voltage ranging from 1.525V to 1.800V. The voltage can increase or decrease at 0.025V at a time. Presently it is set to 1.525V. The mobo allows FSB increments of 1 MHz at a time, ranging from 100 - 240 MHz. Presenting it is on default of 133MHz. The AGP/PCI frequency is currently set to auto mode, but it can be set to manual mode and the freqency can then be increase or decrease. RAM is on SPD mode.
 
Haha sometimes i think the principles of OCing is too easy that people insist there are difficulties and want step-by-steps ... like i mean "change this a bit, test, change some more, test, etc" hehe
 
Go into the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) and go to frequency settings and increase the FSB by one or two notches at a time.

covered in cpu101, and oc101 maybe you should read them as well ;)

Ya for sure ... points yes for reinforcing and confirming ideas and such but there's a clear line between that and "posting for the sake of posting"
